He became interested in public health at a young age, making it to the state science competition with his experiment on the effect of second-hand smoke on houseflies. During high school he was active with the county health department and helped shoot, edit, and publicize PSAs about the dangers of teen smoking. He attended the University of Montana and graduated with a degree in cultural anthropology and a minor in international development studies. Orrin received his master's degree in international public health from the University of Pittsburgh, focusing on underserved populations. As part of his degree he served in the Peace Corps for two years in Riobamba, Ecuador, where he worked with local communities to address pressing health needs and empower marginalized populations. Prior to joining GHC, Orrin worked in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as a research assistant for the POWER Project, a surveillance study of HIV risk and social support among African American men.
